The purpose is to keep Tom from watching TV when he’s supposed to be doing something useful, so his having a key to the lock would be Fail.
On the top shelf of a six-foot bookcase, there is a copy of “The Southern Harmony,” the shape-note hymnal. This book is shorter in height than its front-to-back length; taller books are on either side.
There, atop “The Southern Harmony,” pushed all the way to the back of the shelf, was the missing key-ring. A passing squirrel? A curious jackdaw? Poe’s raven? No, it must have been Frank, who can reach the top shelf if he stands on a chair, then steps on the slightly higher shelf ...
Unnngh.
Soooo glad you found the key. Losing things drives me out of my gourd. I’m currently looking for the fridge warranty so that we can get the compressor replaced. Hate spending $12-14K for something that craps out in four years.
Please pin the TV padlock key to your bra strap. I had a friend who used to carry her diamond ring collection around like that. (Nobody knew but us girls. She used to say, “What am I working for?” lol!)
Spent two hours in the hot sun weeding the garden. Spent the rest of the day cleaning house. Time well spent!
Sweet dreams, y’all!
